Headed out in my bookbox. This was one of my favorite 1001 books that I read this past year. In fact, it's one of my favorite books period.
I read this book - partially - in 2007, and wrote the following:
I gave this book the 100-page test and then gave up. I just couldn't get into it. Sorry Roth, but it was dull! I can't even think of a single incident to fault and say, "This is an example! This is what I didn't like!" It just didn't interest me at all, which is too bad, because I've heard a lot of positive thoughts on Roth's novels.
Maybe I'll give another title a shot someday.

This book enjoyed a brief visit in San Jose, CA before continuing its journey with jsmeltser's 1001 Books Bookbox!
